Programming Overlay Networks with Overlay Sockets

The emergence of application-layer overlay networks has inspired the development of

new network services and applications. Research on overlay net-workshas focused on the

design of protocols to maintain and forward data in an overlay network, however, less

attention has been given to the software development process of building application

programs in such an environment. Clearly,the complexity of overlay network protocols

calls for suitable application programming interfaces (APIs) and abstractions that do not

require detailed knowledge of the overlay protocol, and, thereby, simplify the task of the

application programmer. In this paper, we present the concept of an overlay socket as a

new programming abstraction that serves as the end point of communication in an overlay

network. The overlay socket provides a socket-based API that is independent of the

chosen overlay topology, and can be configured to work for different overlay topologies.

The overlay socket can support application data transfer over TCP, UDP, or other

transport protocols. This paper describes the design of the overlay socket and discusses

API and configuration options.

1 Introduction

Application-layer overlay networks [5, 9, 13, 17] provide flexible platforms for

develop-ing new network services [1, 10, 11, 14, 18–20] without requiring changes to the

network-layer infrastructure. Memb
